seems like a good thing. Now there's another question:The judges also accused Baltimore authorities of misleading the
lower-court judge who had approved their use of the device, commonly
known as a stingray.
Will said Baltimore authorities pay any price for 'misleading the court'? The way a plain old citizen would?

I think Fireclean is making a big mistake here, both on general "Why stir up a mess that's not actually a big one?" terms and "You've never heard of the Streisand Effect, have you?" Because this is going to get them a LOT of publicity, damn little of it good.

This headline brought to you by idiots who've never been hungry.
And their answer is 'we need to have more control over what and how much people eat." Of course.

another hundred rounds through the .22 conversion. Zero problems of any kind.

I'm not nearly diligent enough about keeping count, near as I can recall that's about 800 rounds of mixed .22 through this since I lubed it with CherryBalmz, and the only failures were due to ammo without enough kick to reliably cycle the action. More specifically Federal Champion; it's quite accurate and reliable, but a bit light for this purpose. It didn't reliably cycle things with any other lube I've tried, either. Which reminds me, I need to see if I've still got any of Mr. C's Super Sekrit Gun Oil; that stuff is slick as the dickens, and if I've got some- later on- try it on this conversion with the Champion ammo, see if it's slick enough to make it work.

More detail on this, the conversion would not cycle enough to eject, let alone strip off the next round, on the first 3-4 rounds in the magazine, then it would have no problems. Very reliably. The pressure of the top round in the mag on the slide was enough to cause that much drag, then when the pressure dropped with less tension on the spring it was able to move all the way.

Well, Fecesbook was acting weird before I signed off a while earlier, and now it won't let me sign on: 'Your browser isn't allowing cookies'. Except it is, and the only damned place with a problem is Fecesbook. No telling what they've effed-up this time.

Be it noted: bloggage will be off & on, probably more off, for a few days; stuff to do, etc.

if some things don't change:Mr van den Boogaard is a Dutch gay "humanist", which is pretty much
the trifecta of Eurocool. He was reflecting on the accelerating
Islamization of the Continent and concluded that the jig was up for the
Europe he loved. "I am not a warrior, but who is?" he shrugged. "I have
never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it."
And seeing he's gay, he won't even get the option of converting; they'll just kill him, and apparently he can't see himself doing anything about it.

More campus stupid:
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must
love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our
chains.”
Dumbass, you're a very privileged student attending a school that runs something like $50,000/year; any 'chains' on you are completely in your effed-up mind.

However, today’s activists and other students are growing
up in a wonderfully diverse, polycultural global society that
increasingly acknowledges and embraces our individual
“multidimensionality” as complex beings with many identities.

And over at Yale,Max Stern, the lawyer for the expelled Yale basketball captain Jack
Montague, has spoken out, announcing that he will sue Yale on behalf of
Montague in April, and clarifying some details in the case, including a
very surprising one: that the aggrieved female did not file the sexual
misconduct complaint....The accuser waited around a year to speak to someone from Yale’s Title
IX office, but decided not to file a complaint with Yale. But the Title
IX officer filed a complaint.
In violation of their own rules, it seems. Sue their ass off.

The NYeffingTimes either lies again, or they're actually stupid enough to believe this.The AR-15, which is designed to inflict maximum casualties with rapid bursts, should never have been available for purchase by civilians.
Of course, expecting truth from these people... I think the phrase in the Soviet Union was "There is no truth in Pravda."

The other day there was a story about a Russian troop who, cut off and surrounded by a bunch of ISIS fighters, called in strikes on his own position; his name was Denis Tukhmanov.

and it looks pretty good. Actually cycles the action, can do fast repeat shots, the works. Lots of Glocks, some M&Ps, 1911s... Right now mine looks like that last-months plumbing repair, but maybe down the road.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. - C.S. Lewis

Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. - Capt. Mal

A Rifleman’s Prayer:Oh Lord, I would live my life in freedom, peace and happiness, enjoying the simple pleasures of hearth and home. I would die an old, old man in my own bed, preferably of sexual overexertion.

But if that is not to be, Lord, if monsters such as this should find their way to my little corner of the world on my watch, then help me to sweep those bastards from the ramparts, because doing that is good, and right, and just.

And if in this I should fall, let me be found atop a pile of brass, behind the wall I made of their corpses. Geek with a .45

"He's Black Council,", I said.

"Or maybe stupid," Ebenezar countered.

I thought about it. "Not sure which is scarier."

Ebenezar blinked at me, then snorted. "Stupid, Hoss. Every time. Only so many blackhearted villains in the world, and they only get uppity on occasion. Stupid's everywhere, every day." Ebenezar McCoy

“A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition” ― Rudyard Kipling

This deprecation of individual freedom was objectionable to me. I am convinced now, as I was then, that man is an end because he is a child of God. Man is not made for the state; the state is made for man. To deprive man of freedom is to relegate him to the status of a thing, rather than elevate him to the status of a person. Man must never be treated as means to the end of the state; but always as an end within himself." Dr. M.L. King Jr.
